After sitting on the bed for a few minutes, she suddenly jumped up like she’d been stung by a bee, hurriedly opening her computer to check flight tickets. Fortunately, there was a flight from Capital Airport to Baiyun Airport around nine in the morning, which she immediately booked.
She quickly grabbed a few clothes from the wardrobe, hastily stuffed them into her bag, and then took a taxi straight to the airport. Along the way, she silently repeated: Lei Lei, you’ll be fine! The child will be fine! Everything will be fine!
“Yes, what can we do if we don’t induce labor?” the doctor said, “By the time she was brought in, her condition was already very dangerous. If we had been any later, we couldn’t have saved her life. We did everything we could to rescue her…”
“How could this happen?” Chu Yue’s thoughts were in complete chaos.
The doctor looked at her reproachfully, “The patient’s family is really something. She was six months pregnant and not only had no one taking care of her but was also made to go buy groceries early in the morning with her big belly! How heartless! Where is her husband? Her in-laws? Look, the surgery is done, and the family hasn’t even arrived yet…”
Chu Yue could barely lift her head under the doctor’s criticism. Yes, if she had come to Zhuhai earlier to take care of Yun Lei, this wouldn’t have happened. Self-blame, regret, and sadness all welled up, and she wished she could slap herself.
“Alas!” the doctor sighed, “It’s too late to say anything now. Just take good care of her!”
“Thank you, doctor!” Chu Yue walked out of the doctor’s office with unsteady steps, feeling light and weightless, unable to find her center of gravity. Her heart ached terribly. A vibrant life, a life that had given Lei Lei endless hope, was gone just like that!
After calming herself down, she walked into Lei Lei’s hospital room.
Sitting beside her, she didn’t know what to say or how to comfort her. She could only hold her hand tightly, hoping to convey warmth and strength.
Yun Lei had cried herself to exhaustion and fallen into a deep sleep. Looking at her pale, haggard face and swollen eyes, Chu Yue let out a deep sigh.
